original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Platelet-rich fibrin matrix in the management of arthroscopic repair of the rotator cuff: a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study
Am J Sports Med. 2013 Feb;41(2):263-70. doi: 10.1177/0363546512467621. Epub 2012 Nov 30Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Weber discusses the use of platelet-rich fibrin matrix in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
60 patients were randomized to determine the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients were allocated to receive repair either with or without added PRFM. Pain and narcotic use were monitored in the recovery room following surgery, structural outcome was MRI-assessed 3-5 months postoperatively, and final follow-up of functional outcomes was performed at least one year postoperatively. Results indicated there were no significant improvements in any outcome measurement with the use of PRFM, and UCLA scores were observed to be significantly reduced in the PRFM group.
